2025/08/03

On today's episode, Luis speaks with Will Harris, a farmer, cattleman, and owner of White Oak Pastures. Will shares his personal story of how he inherited his family farm, and how he transitioned the farm from an industrial model to a regenerative one. When taking an industrial approach to farming, Will had caused desertification on parts of his land from the use of chemicals and monocultural farming. His cattle were taking hormones and pharmaceuticals to make them produce more. Over time, h...

2025/07/31

Trevor is back for a second podcast episode with Luis to discuss parenting in the age of social media and screen prevalence. The hard first question is, what social media and screen patterns do the parents model? Do parents use their own free time to disassociate and isolate with the screen? Do parents use the screen as a babysitter for their child/ren, so that they have time to resource themselves? When parents live an authentic, meaningful and satisfied life, they can connect to...

Holistic Life Navigation ·

2025/07/24

In this episode, Luis continues the short series on male puberty by exploring parallel co-regulation, which is similar to parallel play -- meaning they're playing near or next to each other -- and how important it is for teenage boys. During puberty, many boys lose access to their feelings while stuck in a body overwhelmed by testosterone and transformation at every level. An increase in sensation added to a decrease in capacity for sensation leads to inevitable shut down and isolation....

In this episode, Luis dives into the developmental trauma of boys -- a continuation of Episode 279: This Is Why I Think P*rnography Is Traumatizing For Developing Boys -- and how they are generally unsupported through puberty. There's a lot of discourse around "toxic males" and problematic men in our society, but not a lot of somatic discussion around how to support young boys in a new way so they can walk a different path: a more embodied one. Luis encourages community building for par...

Join Luis as he riffs about gender-affirming surgery, hormone therapy, and puberty blockers for minors. He looks to Marci Bowers, the first transgender female gynecologist and surgeon, who makes the case for not giving minors puberty blockers and hormone therapy. Children can safely explore who they are through temporary means, such as: make-up, fashion, roles, gender and stereotypes. The teenage years are inherently dysphoric, lets support kids to flow through these years with as much...

2025/07/13

On today's episode, Luis begins a conversation about male puberty that will continue into another two videos to explore what they face when testosterone begins to transform their bodies, minds, and chemistry. Because of this sudden biological change, p*rnography can be a developmental traumatizing experience for boys that leaves them further isolated from their bodies and emotions.

[Ep. 278] What Does Stress Have To Do With Skin Health?

Holistic Life Navigation ·

2025/07/07

On today's episode, Luis discusses how our skin health is affected by our hormones, and by our liver health. Everything from acne, rashes, eczema, and psoriasis can be caused by impurities coming out through your skin when your liver is overtaxed. The focus is usually on sex hormones, but stress hormones can also tax your liver, which then can trigger flare ups. We can work with chronic stress externally, as well as internally by removing foods from our diets that can trigger an adrenal res...

Holistic Life Navigation ·

2025/07/06

On today's episode, Luis discusses the connection between movement and glucose. Movement and modern, industrialized food now lack a reciprocity. Movement is required for gathering and processing food; movement that many of us no longer need to perform in order to access calorically dense food. Refined foods can often cause a glucose spike, which is followed by an insulin response, and then an adrenal response. When muscles are engaged after eating, it helps with your glucose storage, and can...

Holistic Life Navigation ·

2025/07/03

On today's episode, Luis discusses protein: how it affects mood, the nervous system, and the brain, and why it's so important to understand. Proteins are a combination of amino acids, and dopamine and serotonin rely on them. Refined foods can temporarily fill the dopamine need caused by low amino acid intake, but ensuring you have enough protein is necessary for sustained balance. And sometimes the body's need for protein can change, depending on life circumstances. Luis talks about both plan...

On today's episode, Luis teaches how our processed food cravings can be a compass towards whole food options. Luis gives clear step-by-step conversion choices which can help support our unmet nutrition needs, and discusses how to relate to our unmet relational and emotional needs that may arise when we stop repressing them with food.

On today's episode, Luis teaches one of his favorite practices, called "Interrupting Your Cravings." Cravings aren't about having impulse issues: they're deep unmet needs in the body that we seek to get met through eating. One of those needs is nutritional, and the other is emotional. Luis guides us through a practice to help put a pause in our cravings to help uncover what information the body has to share with us.

[Ep. 272] Healthy At Any Size?

2025/06/24

On today's episode, Luis explores the way that the body stores fat, rather than the identity that can arise from it. Even though there are negative health impacts from too much fat being stored, the process is a natural, biological, animal instinct for survival, is a healthy response to the ingestion of refined carbs and sugars. Learning which foods affect insulin can help to shift the body from fat storage to fat usage mode. But beyond just food, stress and trauma play a role: both cause ad...

Hello sunshine! How do you enter a new day? Do you slowly stretch into it, or do you immediately plug in to dopamine via technology and screens? Join Camille and Luis as they discuss how living seasonally and cyclically can be supportive and resourcing to our bodies. At one time everyone lived in tandem with the seasons. Caffeine and electricity allowed our ancestors to break their own boundaries and nature's boundaries (of seasons, light, and temperature). This evolved into the d...

On today's episode Luis takes us through a brief self-inquiry practice to help us get in touch with the ways we use food to modulate our emotions and sensations. He reviews the way he organizes kinds of foods, and the way these food categories affect our nervous system and adrenals.

Holistic Life Navigation ·

2025/06/12

Food helps us tolerate the intolerable. Processed foods can provoke a state change within us (such as joy, comfort, energized, numbed out), which produces an adrenaline response. If we eliminate processed foods, and experience food sobriety, we no longer have food manipulating our body chemistry. We become more awake to life. ⁠ ⁠ In our 6 month nutrition group we teach you how to titrate food changes, and we provide somatic practices to help hold the resulting sensations. We teach you not be ...
